Q:

I’m 17 years old and my problem is the excessive and rapid growth of hair in my armpit. I feel disgusted because I can’t wear sleeveless dresses. I have to remove daily, fast growing hair in my armpit.What must I do?

Rx:

The amount of hair of your armpit is determined by heredity; it is in your genes. What you can do is pull it out using a tweezer rather than shave it. It should take at least about two weeks before it would again be visible. Shaving is just cutting off the prutoding hair, therefore for one who has very acitve hair glands, it will again show the following day.

There are some dermatologists and certified costomology who perform cautery on the root of the hair glands to permanently stop hair growth in the desired particular area.
